In a way, no, because blacks couldn't vote in large numbers.  In terms of some type of ethnic/religious divide, easily since 1884.  As an issue, obviously, since 1852.

And yes, the Irish in particular did, even to the point that the Irish were compared to monkeys.

I presume that Milliard Fillmore's votes in 1856 had some pretty strong ethnic correlations.

Yes, I think so.
